Betsey and Patrick’s wedding this summer was a fantastic blend of family and friends, elegance and simplicity and a ridiculously good time. The wedding was held at Betsey’s parent’s home on a private island in Freeport. The gals got ready at a neighbors house and had a great time experimenting with dresses that could be tied in a multitude of designs. Betsey’s mother’s wedding dress made an appearance. Meanwhile, the guys got ready in Yarmouth. I was very lucky to have the fantastic Earl Christie unhand as my second photographer for the day to get the guys getting ready and to help with various angles.

As every island wedding is surrounded by water, it is a great bonus to be able to take a host to the ceremony. Firs the parent came over and then the boat returned for the bridesmaids and bride. A boat ride on the wedding day really sets the tone!

Of course, nothing improves a wedding more than a dog, or two, or three and Betsey and Patrick and Betsey;’s parents were thrilled to oblige. Betesy’s and Patrick’s dog was event he ring bearer. Betsey’s father held their new puppy through his speech!
